Tell us about yourself!

I began teaching 31 years ago in a Kindergarten classroom. A few years later I moved up to teaching grade six for fourteen years. I have also spent time in second grade and the grade I have currently been teaching is 5th grade. I absolutely love working with my students, and the upper elementary level is my favorite! They are inquisitive, eager to learn, and begin to take on more responsibilities with support and encouragement.
